THE MARSHALL'S CHICKENS...


Well after reading another blog about Chickens (see my links)
We decided that it was most certainly acceptable to keep chickens as a hobby.
Despite one or two of our neighbours moaning behind our backs and behind closed doors we went ahead and welcomed into our garden four hens..
Harriet - Sapphire - Speckle - Amber
Sometimes you just have to accept that you can please some of the people some of the time and for the rest of it ... well, get a life...
GET A CHICKEN!!

Having now moved out into the countryside we have no neighbours so have 13 hens and 2 very nosey cockerals!!



HERE IS MY OWN DIARY OF A CHICKEN LOVER...

Firstly a huge " THANK YOU" to JUDE SCOTT at
COTWOLD CHICKENS - This lady was really helpful and gave us loads of time, useful and advice and support.
I would recommend going to visit JUDE AT COTSWOLD CHICKENS HAWTHORN STUD SOUTH NEWINGTON BANBURY
If you too like us feel the need to expand your knowledge and desire for the good life!

MEET THE MARSHALL HENS..

SPECKLE


"Speckle" as you may of guessed is a Speckled Star - A Rhode Island Red crossed with a Maran.

She has settled in very well next to Harriet. She is very quiet, but first up for the pasta pickings!She is however not very popular with me at the moment as she appears to be the ringleader in the "sit on and destroy all pretty flower brigade.." She also favours spreading all the bark chippings from my boarders onto the lawn. ( I say lawn in the loosest sense - as it appears to be more like a baron desert with a few sporadic tuffs of grass!) I suppose with 3 boys, 3 dogs and 4 chickens something has to give.



It's a small price to pay for the fun and enjoyment that we all get from the activities in the garden...
